SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If an extension cord is used:
  1.  The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
  2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding type
     3-wire cord; and
  3. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
     Note: If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty department listed in these
     instructions.

HOW TO USE

This product is for household use only.

GETTING STARTED

• Remove all packing material, any stickers, and plastic bands around the power plug and unit before use.
• Remove and save literature.
• Please go to www.prodprotect.com/georgeforeman to register your warranty.

ASSEMBLING AND PREHEATING THE GRILL

• Align the top housing with the bottom housing as shown.
• Align the probe (1) with the probe connections (2) and push the parts together until the probe is firmly inserted into both the top and bottom grill plate/housings.
• Once the grill is plugged in, the indicator light will turn on. If a grill is not assembled correctly, the light will not turn on, the unit will not heat, and the probe will need to be inserted further into the grill.
• Slide the drip tray under the front of the grill.
• Turn the variable temperature dial to the level you desire: minimum (left), medium (straight up)
  maximum (all the way to the right).
• Allow the grill to preheat for approximately 4½ minutes in the closed position before grilling.
• When the grilling temperature is reached, the green preheat indicator light turns on.

GRILLING

• Using a pot holder, carefully open the lid.
  Note: Aerosol cooking spray should not be used on nonstick surfaces. Chemicals that allow spray to come out of a can build up on the surface of grill plates and reduce their efficiency.
• Carefully place the foods to be cooked on a lower grilling plate. Close lid.
  Note: Do not overload the grill.
• Close cover and allow food to cook for the desired time. (See cooking chart.)
  Note: Always use heatproof plastic, nylon, or wood utensils to avoid scratching the nonstick surface of grill plates. Never use metal skewers, tongs, forks, or knives.
• Using a potholder or oven mitts, carefully open the lid and remove the food.
• When finished cooking, unplug the appliance to cool it down.
• Allow the drip tray to cool before removing it from under the grill.
• Allow the unit to cool before removing the probe and before washing.
• Wash and dry the drip tray and the grill top and bottom after each use.

USING ADJUSTABLE COOKING HEIGHT

This grill has a unique hinge that allows the grill cover to adjust to the thickness of the food. For even browning and cooking, when grilling more than one sandwich or piece of meat, it is important that the thickness of each be about the same.

USING THE VARIABLE TEMPERATURE DIAL

The Minimum setting (left) is 300°F, the Medium (straight up) setting is 350°F, and the Max (far right) setting is 400°F. If you don’t know what temperature you wish to grill at, try a medium setting. You may later adjust the temperature to be lower (left) or higher (right) to your preference.

SUGGESTED COOKING CHART

The cooking times and temperatures in the below chart are meant to be used as a guideline only. Cooking time will depend upon the food thickness and cut being used. The grill was set on the highest (maximum) temperature for the cook times listed below. A meat thermometer is used to test for doneness by inserting the thermometer into the thickest portion of the meat. For reasons of personal preference, you may choose to cook food to a higher temperature.

CARE AND CLEANING

Caution: To avoid accidental burns, allow your grill to cool completely before disassembling and cleaning. This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.

• Thoroughly clean all parts after each use.
• Avoid particle buildup in probe connection areas.

1. HOW TO REMOVE THE PROBE FOR DISHWASHING (DISASSEMBLE)
   Push the probe away from the grill with one or two thumps by using the ridges on top of the panel as a grip.
   Note: You can also disassemble by holding on to the back of the probe and pulling away from the grill while also holding on to the handle of the grill with the other hand. However, this will require a bit more force than pushing away with your thumbs.
2. The probe will fully come out and separate from the plates.
3. The probe should not get wet: wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly.
4. Empty the drip tray.
5. Wash these parts in warm water with dish soap or in a dishwasher (can fully submerse the grill):
   • grill top
   • grill bottom
   • drip tray (dishwasher top rack only)
6. Thoroughly dry all parts before putting them back together.
   • DO NOT use steel wool, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners on any part of the grill.
7. Re-assemble by reinserting the probe. (follow assembly instructions)
8. For storage, loosely wrap the cord around the probe.
9. The unit can be stored vertically, resting on the probe.

RECIPE

BACON WRAPPED CHEESE STUFFED BURGER

• Prep Time: 5 minutes
• Cooking Time: 8-10 minutes
• Total Time: 13-15 minutes
• Servings: 4 burgers

Ingredients:

• 1-pound 80/20 ground beef
• 1 envelope of French Onion Soup dry mix
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 egg
• ½ medium onion; finely diced
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 2 tbsp Dijon, whole grain, or brown mustard
• ¼ cup breadcrumbs
• 2 ounces of sharp cheddar cheese; cut from a block; cubed into ½ inch chunks
• 8 slices of bacon
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 slices of tomato
• 4 slices of red onion
• 4 pieces of iceberg lettuce

Directions:

1. Put ground beef, soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, egg, finely diced onion, garlic, mustard, and breadcrumbs in a medium bowl. Mix until well blended using either your hands or with a wooden spoon.
2. Divide the beef mixture into four even amounts. Form those 4 pieces into balls put a dent into the center of the ball and place a cube of cheese in the dent.
3. Gently fold the rest of the ball around the cheese cube and seal the edges so the cheese will stay inside of burger. Set the burgers aside.
4. Using 2 of the slices of bacon, lay one slice horizontally over the top of the burger and lay the other slice vertically over the burger. Tuck the ends under the burger. It should look like a bacon cross on the burger. Repeat with the other burgers until they are all wrapped in the bacon.
5. Preheat the grill to the highest heat setting that you can. Once the grill is reheated, place 2 of the burgers on the grill and gently close the lid. The burgers will take about 8-1 O minutes to cook. Repeat with the remaining burgers.
6. Once the burgers are cooked to the desired internal temperature, place on a bun and top with lettuce, tomato & onion.
